mchain, I get a clean report for my daughter's web site,
www.katinaarnott[.]com, from your suggested web sites:
-
https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url -
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ -
http://urlquery.net/I have also run tests on several other sites like pentest-tools.com and webinspector.com with no issues. Also I have a blacklist monitor at mxtoolbox.com and it shows no entries on 103 blacklists. But still Avast insists on aborting connections to
www.katinaarnott.com "because it is infected with URL:Mal".
Now, of course I want get a clean bill of health for this website but I'm also concerned as to why Avast calls it an infection (URL:Mal) and just leaves it at that. I have googled URL:Mal extensively and cannot find a definition of a virus/infection of this name. I do, however, see posts like these:
- What is URL:MAL and How to remove URL:mal virus from Windows
- Remove URL:Mal Virus Infection (Uninstall Guide)
Both of these posts just give a generic description of how to clean up a pc.
So, if we can agree that "because it is infected with URL:Mal" means that Avast has detected an issue on the target website, then for goodness sake, Avast, tell us what the issue is.
As for my specific web site, the only issue of which I'm aware is the lack of SPF/DKIM/DMARC. This is a problem I'm having with GoDaddy because they used to be set up ok. I still have absolutely no idea what Avast thinks is wrong at my website.
